Khan has wins over Molina, Diaz,Malignaggi, Maidana, Judah, Barrera, Kotelnik, and McCloskey(not great but quality). That's a better resume than most other 147 lbers out there. He is chinny but against Floyd, that is not as big of a problem as if he were fighting Pac, Provodnikov, Garcia, etc. So not Floyd's best opponent, but very clearly not worth all this criticism. This may end up being a very tough fight for Floyd. If it's a done deal as is being rumored.
I don't think Khan will win a single round in his fight with Mayweather. Floyd is faster, more accurate with his punches, and has a much better defense. He is also much smarter than Khan in the ring, has better timing and reflexes, takes a punch much better and hits harder than Khan. This fight is a gross mismatch. That is why Khan will probably be about a 7 to 1 betting underdog.
If Khan had gone through with the Alexander fight and won I would have no problem with him fighting Mayweather. For Khan to get the Mayweather fight coming off a close home country win over the Boxrec #37 welterweight at a catchweight of 143 is a joke. When you were listing Khan's resume you left out his first round KO loss to Prescott. Since then Prescott has offered to rematch Khan any time and any place for a small amount of money but Khan always turns him down. This will be Mayweather's first KO win since Ortiz.

God I'm so happy Floyds not goign to even consider fighting Cotto again, Cotto got completely dominated by Floyd even worse than Zab Juddah (who Khan KO'd should I mention?)
Khan is going to be Floyds worst nightmare in the ring, trust me you stupid american retards.
Beating Berto at WW is 10X better than going life and death with Julio Diaz in your only WW fight to date. Garcia is more legit than Khan, 140 pound champ vs 147 pound champ. He can do better than Khan, he get any damn fighter he WANTS. Key word there.
Beating Aydin and Berto was shit at WW. Beating Berto at WW was shit. It's still better than anything Khan has done lately and at WW.
I'd take Alexander over Khan. At least that's WW unification, not a money grab against popular UK elite neck china chin bitch.
garcia didn't want to fight floyd yet....
I'm not even a Mayweather fan and I'm defending him against clowns who do nothing but ***** and moan no matter what. That's ok though. I know it's your job as semi-pro boxing critics. Please continue.

Yeh, he could have. But let's remember other fights that Floyd has fought that were hyped up- Victor Ortiz, whose sig win was Andre Berto, only a fight or two after getting KO'd by Maidana, and Guerrero, who had good wins at lighter weights but who's big win at 147 was..... Andre Berto after the Ortiz loss. I'm just saying Amir is a more legit than either of those guys.
Even if I felt he is more legit, the timing is kind of ehhh. Personally I've wanted to see this fight over the years assuming Khan rose to a certain level. It still just looks like he was working out things with with his trainer in the last fight,...it's not like there was an single event that made you sit back and think, "wow, he's back" or "I see the improvements now", etc, etc. There was no recent foty candidate to project him into the big fight with Floyd like Ortiz and Ghost.
the good thing is that we know that he might b more delusional than Floyd, and has legit speed. We see the losses, but he doesn't...he'll go out there and do his thing and raise some eyebrows early on with his quickness.
At his best, he has a way of racking up rounds.. before you know it's 7-0.
If it happens, I hope he can make it a FOTY candidate because we need one of these PPVs main events to deliver
Ortiz got stopped in the 4th FYI. So he needs to win more rounds than Guerrero, which was what, 1, maybe 2? And you have no points. Like at all. :lol1:
I would bet real money if I knew you at all. but Guerrero winning 1,2 rounds, yes. If this is such a mismatch Khan should be getting shut out here. You know that's not happening. I will tell you what, no bet. I'm just going to remind you of how dumb you looked trying to say Khan is a worse opponent than these two every time you post another stupid response like that.
So you think Guerrero and Ortiz will put up more of a fight against Floyd than Khan will? I will bet all my points that Khan wins more rounds than Guerrero, and doesn't get KO'd by the 3rd like Ortiz did. Sig it if you're that confident.

You point out his wins but his losses and recent performances speak for themselves. Life and death with a past his prime Julio Diaz, ko'd by Prescott who is a C level fighter at bestt, KO'd by Garcia, I give him a pass on Lamont because of the Testosterone he was taking but Cmon, Bradley, Thurman, Garcia all are a better option. At least we know they got chins and won't fall when the wind blows
I'll watch it. I don't believe in "the Mayweather rule" where every time he wants to fight it's got to be a mega fight. He can fight whoever he wants. He's earned it.
Yeah JMM coming up 2 weight classes and cheated on the scales, Ortiz, past prime Cotto, Guerrero and drained Canelo must've taken a lot out of the p4p champ.
He earns an easy fight after all those gurling tests :rofl:

You tards throw this **** up but you don't argue a point. Guerrero, Ortiz. Would you say these were better opponents. Or maybe he should fight someone else in the WW top 10- Kell Brook? Bradley? Marquez II? Alexander? Keith Thurman? Are these welterweight fights more legit? Cuz that's who else is top 10. Nice response though.
